The dance at the Academy of Music on
Christmas Eve was the seen of disgraceful
shooting affray. The facts as we learn them
were as follows: two young men, Rob't
Moore and Lon Mcclure, got into difficulty
but friends interfered and restored peace,
" HcH NO. safes, VI lllOt MUD, Neli- hHONU
TO many of our readers, took up MoOre's
fight, pulled a revolver and fired two shots,
one of which cut off a finger of McGuire's
right hand. Mcclure then produced 4 re-
solyer and snapped it once or twice, but it
failed to fire, and he then used it rs a club
over Sales head, doing him up pretty badly.
Sales was then conveyed to his boarding
house and surgeon called who pronounced
him in rather crictical condition. Two
warrants were issued next day for the Of
tenders, one against Mcclure for carrying
concealed weapons, and the other against
Sales charging him with assault with intend
to kill. Mcclure was arrested and convict
ed and paid fine and costs amounting to $40.
Owing to Sales serious wounds, the officers
did not modest him, fearing that bis immedi-
ate removal might be attended with fatal re-
suits. Constable Patton and Sheriff Whit
worth becoming uneasy, however, went
down Friday to where the wounded man
lay, with the intention of bringing him in,
but he played well the part of mighty sick
man land they concluded to wait little long
er ere they jailed him. Mr.. Sales sailed out
that night, and is probably sailing yet, as up
to the present there are no tidings of his
whereabouts.

marks, "who are striving for money, and
they poth strive for different aim, the
one TO make money because of the love of

done withit. The aim Of the former is n
coniemtible one, that of the later worthy

General Logan's book, 1.-THE Great
Conspiracy" did not, it appears, meet the
expectations of its author, and he suffer
ed accordingly the pangs of a consider
able disappointment. The great and
ponderous shadow, as one of its publish
ers has it, of Grants Memoirs blightcd
the demand for it by the public. The
same party claims that the publication
OF Grants second volume was long de-
layedl for the purpose of sitting the
sale of Logan's book, and it probably
was little strategy on the part of the
publishers. The Grant Memoirs was,
from first to last, a great catch penny
arrangement lis publishers, with Mark
Twain at the head, did not deal honest
ly with the public, and unless charit-
able view is taken of it, the public has
been dreadfully swindled, from n busi-
ness point of view. But charitable
view from the point deserving such II
view involves like profitable outcome
to the publishers, who were probably
more influenced by selfish considera-
tions than any other. Besides charity
for anybody ceases to be such long
before it has reached the sum of one
half or three quarters of II million dol
lars. What we refer to as IL swindling
operation and cheat to the public was
the division of the Grant Memoirs into
two volumes, making two books ont of
matter that WIS only sufficient for one.
The publishers know that the public
would tolerate most anything, and they
seem to have done their best to spread
the butter over rs big piece of bread
AS possible. geographically the work
is an abortion-great course stallion
horse type and lines wide apart like an
advertisement, aud course heavy paper
everything calculated to achieve one
object and one only-to swell the mat
ter into two, and get, under false pre-.
tense, two dollars where one was only
justly due. Most persons would have
preferred to have the volumes less
bulky, in smaller and handsomer type
even at the same price. But that would
not have been in accordance with the
Mark Twainish policy that has domin
ated the whole business, and that is Il
deceive the public with vague belize
that they are getting the worth of thei
money when they are getting only one
half of it, If both volumes had beer
put forth at once, the trick would have
been transparent, but the long interva
between the two seemed to Tighten tn,
burden, and among other things, to de
press the sale of other books, such a
General Logan's, that might, in point o
merit, compete with il for the patronag

Unprcccdcntcd,- Some months ago
Mr.. VIM. Barton received a copy of the
Medina County Gazette giving the vote
of Medina upon the subject of closing
the saloons under the Local option
clause of the Dow law. There was or
ly 20 votes in favor of retaining the St.
looms in vote Of nearly 800. This is
the County seat of Medina county and
seems to be a fair representation OF the
sentiment of the entire county. A few
days ago Mr.. Barton received another
copy Of his old home paper, the Gazette,
in which the following two items ap-
pear, which speak volumes:
"There will be no publication Of dein-
quent tax sale this year, from the fact
that the back taxes on realty are all
paid up, thing that never happened
before in the history of this county, and
we think we may challenge the State
for like record. 1t speaks well for the
prosperity of the county, and for tie
thorough work of the tax officials"

doubt if there is family in the corpor-
alton who were not able to have a

Death OF David ID. Bates.-The not
unlocked for death of Mr.. David ID.
Bates occurred at his home OH Second
street at 9 o'clock on Friday evening
last, after lingering illness of about a
year, an intense suffering from abscess of
the liver. He has been kept alive for
months past by his attending physician,
DIR. Rheinfrank, by the insertion of sill
yer tubes to extract the accumulation of
puss from the liver, and by the untiring
and unceasing attentions of a devoted
wife and mother.
Mr.. Bates was born in Perrysburg,
served three months in the late war in
Captain Cooks Company of Ohio Ma
tional Guard, and we believe served the
township in office a number of years ago.
In National and State politics he was an
active Democrat, but in late years he is
supposed to have voted in county mat
tiers for what has flourished, like Green
Bay tree, under the nom -de-plum of
Republican"
The funeral services took place at the
residence at II A. M. Sunday, Rev. G, A.
Adams officiating, and was largely at
tended by the older residents of the
village.

Dress Reform. dress reform era

cribed as "cut square about the neck
and flowing in easy folds, which follow
closely the natural lines of the form
until the Dress touches the ground. No
belt, but an artful array Of plaits at the
side carries back the robe with grace
full sweep" This would appear ro be a
kind of stepmother, aunt, neice or cous-
in to the Mother Hubbard" But we
are up stumpum on following the mat
ural lines of the form" Forms vary as
greatly as features, under various con-
ditions, various seasons of the year,
from various causes and at various ages
Just how meal sack with hole of suf'

back hair attachment, could be made to
"follow closely the natural lines" in the
varied seasons, ages and previous COL
dition of servitude," would seem poser
for even Paris man-milliner. As it is

lowing your captain" over stone or tes-

giene have failed to do. But we mus
